dmworking247's Desktop Controllers [look! photos! :) ]
dmworking247:
Hi all,
I recently posted a thread about hacking cheap USB controllers to use instead of keyboard hacks or 'proper' keyboard encoders.
To prove the concept, as well as play around with a few ideas I had for desktop control panels, I've built two 'proof of concept sticks'.
So without further ado:
Playstation 2 controller (can also be used on PC with a $5 PS2-to-USB converter). Has rumble motors!
USB PC controller (this one was specifically designed to compliment my Alien Bartop).
HaRuMaN:
Very cool, I especially like the Chun-Li artwork.
Which PS2 controller did you use?
Ginsu Victim:
What sort of joystick is that? I never like the look of those.
Nice CP though. Very slick.
dmworking247:
Those joysticks are "MCA" Joysticks, which would probably be the most common joystick used in Australian arcade machines. They're actually quite good and very sturdy, but I don't like the absence of a dust skirt.
I used these simply because I salvaged them out of arcade cabinet restorations I've been doing, and these were 'proof of concept' sticks. For any further sticks I make, I'll likely use Sanwas.
pmc:
Damn that white one is really nice. Is that box plastic or wood? Gorgeous finish and fantatstic artwork.

How does that work? Does the whole box rumble? Or just the stick?
